IMPROVEMENT 1N OPERATING" cHURN-DASHBRS.

The Schedule referred to ih these Letters Patent and making part of theseme.

To all whom it may concern- Be it known that I,W1LLIAM Knee, ofLassellsville,in the county of Fulton, and State of New York, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Operating Gllurn-Dashers; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to makeand use the same, referencegbeing had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification.

`This invention relates to an improvement in the method of operating thedashers for butter-churnsot1 the old style, or where the dasher' is'attached. to a rod,- or staff, and given a vertical reciprocatingmotion, by hand or by means o f any other suitable motive power; andconsists in providing for givingthe staff of the dasher a perpendicularmotion, when the same is attached to and operated by means of a lever,as hereinafter more fully described. v

The accompanyingdrawing represents a side elevation ofthe device, withthe staii of the dash attached.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondingr parts.

A represents'the outline of the churn.

B, the churn-dash stati.

C is the lever. l

D is a stand, which ismade fast to the side of the .chui-n, a'srepresented in the drawing.

E is an oscillating rod, which `isjointed tothe stand D at F, and to theend of the lever at G.

The dasher-staii is connected with the lever by means of the tubularpiece H, `which is connected with the piece J, which passes through amortise in the lever, wllere it is fastened by a pin, or bolt, as seenat I.

The tube II (enclosing the staff) is fastened to the 'piece J by athumb-nut, and' isy so arranged that the l staff which would be entirelyinadmissible on accountJ ofthe friction which would be produced by vthedasher against the sides of the churn, and by the staiiwhere it passesthrough the head of the churn.

To overcome this diiiicnlty, I conue the lever to the circle K, on thestand I), by means of the slotted button L, which button passes intoa'reoess in the lever, and turns therein as the lever moves up and thevibrating fulcrnm G and the lever G, constucted,-

arranged, and operatingsubstantially as and for the purposes set forth.

The above specication of my invention signed by me, this 10th day ofJune, 1869.
